IT industry companies 'should be aware of the energy consumption'

07:24 18th July 2011

IT industry businesses looking to make their offices greener must make a conscious effort to figure out how energy they are consuming and where they are spending it, according to Andrew Boddington director of marketing at Return on It.

"Just simple things like not leaving things needlessly on overnight or when people aren't using the equipment- it can make a huge difference," he said.

In his opinion, the economic downturn has made businesses be less concern about their future. He said companies aren't thinking as strategically as they might have been before the crisis.

"But doing the right thing environmentally can actually help your business and save money," he added.

In other IT industry news, It is marketers and sales and business executives who are exploring the potential of flexible working via devices such as tablets and smartphones rather than IT professionals, Echoworx has speculated.
